Micheal Martin, Leo Varadkar and Eamon Ryan have failed to fill the rural gap in the carve-up of the juicy junior ministers’ roles.
Instead, they gave the vast majority of the positions – 11 out of 17 – to TDs from the Pale, Dublin or Leinster.
That means there is only one-fifth – 7 of 35 – of Government ministers, junior or senior, representing people west of the Shannon.
The new Cabinet signed off on the agreed divvy-up of junior minister jobs just after 9pm last night following a Cabinet teleconference.
Only three TDs from Munster were promoted, two from Connacht and one from Ulster.
Two “Super Juniors” from Connacht, Mayo’s Dara Calleary and Galway’s Hildegarde Naughton, were announced last weekend.
